I wonder how long it's going to take them to announce her name. I had thought that an old-fashioned English flower name might play into the mix, like Iris or Rose, just because it's not quite as terribly dull as most of the other popular choices. They can still have Elizabeth or Victoria for tradition's sake, though it's worth noting that neither Charles nor Philip landed on George's nameroll.
Earl Spencer's daughter is Charlotte Diana, so we won't see that. But the interesting move would be any inclusion of Diana at all. The Royals don't seem opposed to manipulative sentimentality, given how they've referenced Diana already--like Kate's inheriting Diana's engagement ring, wearing that blue polka dot dress after giving birth to George, etc. But some folks wouldn't like it at all. Anne would look more prunelike than ever.
I'm keeping my bets safe: she'll grow up leggy and tall, and will happily lack the major 'derp'/mouth-breather gene so apparent in the Fergie-Andrew spawn. Her resemblance to Pippa Middleton will also be minimal to non-existent.![]()

I am also waiting to see if they will be brave enough to include the Diana name. I think the ring is on show in case they can't. There will always be reminders of Diana somehow and it's understandable.

Kate Middleton's midwives who delivered the Princess revealed | Daily Mail Online
Call the midwives! The calm duo who delivered the Princess after striking up close rapport with Kate
- Midwives Arona Ahmed and boss Jacqui Dunkley-Bent delivered Princess

- Team of surgeons were led by royal gynaecologist Mr Guy Thorpe-Beeston
- Kate gave birth to a girl just 154 minutes after being admitted to hospital

The unsung heroines of the Royal birth were midwives Arona Ahmed and her boss, Jacqui Dunkley-Bent, Professor of midwifery at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, who together delivered the Princess.
According to hospital insiders, the professor, 51, had struck up a close rapport with the Duchess of Cambridge when she delivered Prince George two years ago at St Mary's Hospital, West London.
Mrs Ahmed, 44, had missed out on that occasion because her shift ended before the birth and she was replaced by another midwife.

But yesterday, Mrs Ahmed helped at the princess's birth, while the team of suited male surgeons, led by Mr Guy Thorpe-Beeston, Surgeon Gynaecologist to the Royal Household, looked on.
Kate had a meticulous birth plan. She had opted to be seen first by the midwives, and as a source said: 'What the duchess wants, the duchess gets.'
So while the male doctors waited in a nearby room, it was the red-uniformed midwives – the colour denotes their seniority – who monitored Kate as her contractions progressed and supported Prince William.
Both women are experienced, unflappable and have the full confidence of the obstetricians.
It is understood a team of three midwives has been on standby for more than a month to cover three shifts over a 24-hour period should Kate have been admitted early.
By establishing a specific team for the Royal birth, Kate and William ensured that the care of other patients, NHS or private, was not affected or disrupted.
Given the speed of Kate's delivery – just 154 minutes after being admitted to the hospital – it is likely she was in labour at home for some hours before feeling the need to be with her medical team.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have said they are 'hugely grateful' for all the warm wishes they have received since the birth of their daughter.
In a statement issued on the couple's behalf they said the congratulations of people around the world meant 'a great deal' to them as thousands continued to celebrate the little princess's birth.
Born yesterday at 8.34am, the baby girl - whose name is still not known - was taken home to Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace by her proud parents last night.
This morning Kate and William's relatives flocked to meet her, with Carole and Pippa Middleton the first to arrive. They were followed by Charles and Camilla who beamed with delight as they drove themselves past the palace gates.
The Queen is staying privately in Sandringham where she will remain until Tuesday. She will likely meet the baby, her fifth great-grandchild, when the Cambridges decamp to Norfolk tomorrow.
The princess, whose name has still not been revealed, was born at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital yesterday weighing 8lbs and 3oz.

That's exactly what happened to me. Did anyone every explain why it happened? I had no idea this could occur and I looked bigger because of the swelling after the delivery than before. It was awful.
Kate really does look amazing and my experience was the exact opposite. I went into labour with my son on a Thursday evening and didn't deliver until Sunday at noonish. By that time I was beyond exhausted and looked like I had been hit by an ugly stick. The video my father took when he came in to see my son confirms it. My lips were so dry that I had blood on my front tooth and my hair looked like it had been styled with a whipper snipper. I was in the hospital for at least 4 days and looked beyond horrific for weeks. At least my son looked amazing! Ah, the sweet memories.
Me too. Water weight, I guess. I actually weighed 5 lbs. more the day after my daughter was born. Pfffft. Overall, I tell her it was worth it.![]()
